OK so the other day I went to the gas station about 5 minutes away and the car was completely cold, no issues. Got back in and got a "EPC" light and a "Do not exceed 4000 RPM" warning. Im exhausted and this thing loves epc lights so i limp it home but getting to 25 MPH is impossible and i look down and see the temp gauge reading at 240. I pull over and pop the hood expecting a mess. NO issues radiator is topped off and has pressure and engine oil in the normal area. Got back in and turned the car on, after 20 seconds epc turns off and rev limit gone digital temp said car was at 161f. I was so exhausted that I thought I hallucinated it. I went out for a drive an hour later being rough on it trying to get it to do it and nothing. HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE.
Fast forward to me taking it to the STEALership for my FIRST oil change and they said they found a stored code for poor coolant performance. Then said my CPO warranty doesn't cover the thermostat it needs and it 1,242 to replace it! I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR 9 MONTHS!!! THIS IS THE 4TH PROBLEM I HAVE HAD.
Advice?! WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT?!
